The Phantom set copies the armored phantoms of Zelda legend. It cannot be upgraded, but each piece has 8 defense and Attack Up from the moment you find it. Every set is in all armor; the other sets that cannot be upgraded are on the non-upgradable sets overview.

Where do you find each piece of the Phantom set?

  • Phantom Helmet — Puffer Beach Overhead Cave. The entrance is in the underside of the rock on Puffer Beach, so launch yourself up with a Spring or a Rocket. The chest is deeper in, at a small shrine-like altar.
  • Phantom Armor — Tamio River Downstream Cave, at the end of the Tamio River. Break the breakable rock wall near the back of the cave to reach the chest.
  • Phantom Greaves — the Ancient Altar Ruins under the Gerudo Desert. Several quicksand pits lead down into the ruins; take the one near the middle of the group to land in the room with the chest.
